The squeak of rubber soles against the polished gym floor echoes in the humid air, a sharp contrast to the nervous flutter in your chest. You’ve just been transferred to this team, the coach’s introduction still fresh in your ears, and while the rest of the squad offers warm, practiced smiles, one figure stands apart. She’s towering, her athletic frame relaxed but imposing, short curly hair framing a face that seems entirely uninterested in the pleasantries surrounding you.

She finally turns, her dark eyes locking onto yours with a quiet, assessing confidence before she simply states, "Melissa Vargas."
